Welcome to Botanika Bharat LLP, India's trusted premium cinnamon powder exporter and Ceylon Cassia cinnamon bulk supplier based in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand. As one of the leading Indian spice exporters with decades of expertise, we supply authentic export-quality Ceylon cinnamon powder (true cinnamon), Cassia cinnamon powder, organic dalchini powder, and ground cinnamon to importers, distributors, bakery manufacturers, FMCG companies, pharmaceutical firms, nutraceutical producers, confectionery manufacturers, and food processors across North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and beyond. Our commitment to quality, authenticity, and customer satisfaction has made us a preferred choice for businesses seeking reliable cinnamon powder suppliers from India.
At Botanika Bharat, we understand that cinnamon is more than just a spice—it is a vital ingredient that adds warmth, aroma, and health benefits to countless products from cinnamon rolls and pastries to dietary supplements and traditional medicines. Whether you need Ceylon cinnamon powder (Cinnamomum verum) with its delicate sweet flavor and low coumarin content ideal for health-conscious products, Cassia cinnamon powder (Cinnamomum cassia) with its strong aromatic profile perfect for bakery applications, Vietnamese cinnamon (Saigon cinnamon) known for intense flavor, or organic certified dalchini powder for premium wellness products, we have the capability, certification, and commitment to fulfill your requirements with precision and professionalism.
Our journey as a cinnamon powder exporter India is built on three pillars: uncompromising quality, transparent business practices, and customer-first service. We understand that in today's global food and pharmaceutical industry, quality is non-negotiable. That's why every kilogram of ground cinnamon powder leaving our facility meets stringent international food safety standards including FSSAI certification (License: 10251007107816296), ISO certifications, APEDA registration, and compliance with EU, US FDA, USDA Organic, Halal, Kosher, GMP, and HACCP standards. We provide complete export documentation including Certificate of Analysis from NABL accredited laboratories testing for coumarin content, volatile oil content, pesticide residues, heavy metals, microbial parameters, phytosanitary certificates, Certificate of Origin, and all necessary trade documents for smooth customs clearance.
As a specialized cinnamon powder manufacturer and exporter, we work directly with cinnamon growers and processors across India and source premium cinnamon from major cultivation regions. Ceylon cinnamon is primarily sourced from Kerala and Tamil Nadu where the climate produces the finest true cinnamon with thin bark layers and delicate flavor. Cassia cinnamon is procured from quality suppliers ensuring consistent color, aroma, and flavor profiles. This direct sourcing connection allows us to ensure quality from the field level, support sustainable farming practices, offer competitive pricing, and maintain year-round supply consistency. We maintain strict quality protocols at every stage from raw bark procurement to grinding, sieving, and packaging.
Our state-of-the-art processing facility in Rudrapur is equipped with modern cleaning, sorting, grinding, sieving, and packaging machinery that preserves the natural aroma, volatile oil content (typically 0.5-4.5% depending on variety), and characteristic flavor of cinnamon while ensuring food safety and hygiene. We process various cinnamon varieties offering different flavor profiles: Ceylon cinnamon with subtle sweet notes and citrus undertones ideal for premium applications, Cassia cinnamon with bold spicy-sweet flavor perfect for bakery products, Vietnamese cinnamon with highest volatile oil content for intense applications, and Indonesian cinnamon with moderate flavor suitable for general culinary use. We offer various mesh sizes from coarse (20 mesh) to ultra-fine (80 mesh and finer) to suit different applications from visible cinnamon sugar toppings to smooth beverage blends.
For bakery industry buyers seeking bakery grade cinnamon powder suppliers, we understand the critical role cinnamon plays in cinnamon rolls, Danish pastries, cookies, muffins, donuts, and seasonal baked goods. We supply consistent cinnamon powder that disperses evenly, maintains color stability during baking, delivers reliable aroma release, and meets the stringent microbial standards required for ready-to-eat products. Our R&D team can work with your product developers to create custom cinnamon blends combining Ceylon and Cassia to achieve specific flavor profiles, or blend cinnamon with complementary spices like nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger for signature bakery spice mixes.
For FMCG manufacturers and food processors seeking private label cinnamon powder manufacturers in India, we offer comprehensive solutions including customized grinding specifications (mesh size), moisture control (typically 10-12%), packaging options from retail pouches (50g-500g) in attractive designs to bulk industrial packaging (25kg multi-wall paper bags or food-grade PP bags), and complete private labeling services. Our quality control systems including batch testing, coumarin content analysis (especially important for Ceylon vs Cassia differentiation), volatile oil quantification, pesticide residue screening, aflatoxin testing, heavy metal analysis, and microbial testing ensure every shipment maintains the same specifications you approved in your initial sample.
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical buyers trust us for pharmaceutical grade cinnamon powder that meets pharmacopoeia standards. Cinnamon is widely recognized for potential health benefits related to blood sugar management, cholesterol reduction, anti-inflammatory properties, and antioxidant effects. For dietary supplement manufacturers, we can supply cinnamon powder with standardized coumarin content (important for Ceylon cinnamon which naturally contains very low coumarin compared to Cassia), certificates of analysis from accredited laboratories, and documentation supporting supplement fact panels. We understand GMP requirements for dietary supplement manufacturing and maintain appropriate quality systems.
Industrial buyers and food processing companies trust us for bulk cinnamon powder supply with containers delivered on schedule. We handle full container loads (FCL) of 10-24 MT and less than container loads (LCL) for smaller quantities, offering flexible Incoterms including FOB (Free on Board from Mundra/JNPT/Chennai port), CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), CFR (Cost and Freight), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) for select destinations. Our experienced logistics team coordinates with international freight forwarders, shipping lines, and customs brokers, handles all export formalities, and ensures your containers reach destination ports without delays. We use food-grade packaging materials including multi-wall paper bags with PE liner, PP woven bags with inner liner, or customized packaging as per buyer specifications.
For importers and distributors seeking wholesale cinnamon powder from India, we offer competitive bulk pricing with volume-based discounts, flexible payment terms including Letter of Credit (L/C at sight or usance), advance payment via telegraphic transfer, Documentary Collection (DP/DA), and buyer credit arrangements for established relationships. First-time importers receive comprehensive support including free product samples (250g-500g of each variety), detailed product specifications including coumarin content data, sample Certificates of Analysis, guidance on import regulations and documentation requirements of destination countries, and complete hand-holding through the documentation and customs procedures to ensure your first import experience is smooth and successful.
We also specialize in organic cinnamon powder export with products certified organic under NPOP (India), USDA-NOP (United States), and EU Organic Regulation. Our organic cinnamon is sourced from certified organic farms or certified organic processors following strict organic protocols, processed in dedicated organic processing lines to prevent contamination, and certified by internationally accredited organic certification bodies including Control Union and Ecocert. Complete traceability is maintained from certified organic source through processing to export container, with Transaction Certificates provided for each shipment, giving your customers confidence in the authenticity of organic claims. Organic cinnamon powder commands premium prices in health-conscious markets across North America, Europe, and Australia where demand for clean-label, organic spices continues to grow.
